AI in the food chain

The Food Chain examines the business, science and cultural significance of food, and what it takes to put food on your plate.

How is artificial intelligence reshaping the global food industry? Rumella Dasgupta explores how AI is helping chefs experiment with new recipes, reducing food waste in factories and streamlining supply chains.

She speaks to Tamsin Deasey Weinsten, a though leader on the AI industry, to discover the parts of the food supply chain that AI is affecting the most.

In the kitchen, chef Matan Zakan tells us how he uses AI chatbots to assist him with recipes and food orders.

AI is also revealing problems that have long been overlooked. We speak to Dini McGrath, co founder of ZEST, a company that has developed an AI programme to address food waste.

And the CEO of Chef Robotics, Rajat Bagheria, welcomes us to meet his AI enabled robots, designed to help labour shortage problems in the food industry.
